The invention effect
First aspect
Inorganic particle by the first aspect present invention manufacturing is spherical basically, therefore has high workability as resin extender, can be to mix at high proportion and evenly.Be cooled by the spheroidal particle that is injected in the water heating on them, keep atomizing state simultaneously, in manufacturing system, do not need other cooling zone.In addition, the cooling spheroidal particle keeps atomizing state (buoyant state) to be agglomerated into composite particles mutually to stop simultaneously.In addition, by spray keeping pyritous water cooling particle, therefore drying when reclaiming the refrigerative spheroidal particle does not need other drying step.
The organic materials that contains silicate as raw material is preferably vitreous, because the product spherical inorganic particle has height spheric cross section.Use glass fibre can produce the spherical inorganic particle of relative uniform grading.In other words, fiber is owing to only change in lengthwise dimension, thus can fully pulverize the generation spheroidal particle, because they have uniform diameter basically.Another advantage of using glass fibre is that the content of volatiles in the product spherical inorganic particle is relatively low, because fiber carries out nodularization after fusion.
In addition, be used as the inorganic materials that contains silicate of the raw material of first aspect present invention method, preferably not coated dose, for example organic reagent, protective agent, sizing agent coatings such as (sizing agent).When not coated, be easy to form in the short period of time required milling product.For example, uncoated raw material can fully be pulverized in about 1 hour and be the particle of uniform-dimension basically.The particle that applies with its contrast needs about 5 hours so that the crushed products of size much at one to be provided.
When the water that contains organic compound when preferred usefulness sprayed, containing the spheroidal particle that the inorganic materials of silicate forms by pulverizing can apply with organic compound fully.This disappears except when raw material applies inadequate shortcoming with organic silane compound when containing the jet of water of organic silane compound before pulverizing.In addition, spheroidal particle preferably by cooling off with the jet of water that contains organic silane compound, keeps atomizing state, because this can stop them to be agglomerated into composite particles mutually simultaneously.In other words, even when their subsequent dewaterings and drying, only dipping contains the inorganic materials of silicate and does not carry out injection water and may make them be agglomerated into composite particles in containing the water of organic silane compound, and generation should be pulverized them once more to guarantee the shortcoming of given particle diameter.
Second aspect
The vitreous material that contains silicate as the raw material of second aspect present invention method has low relatively fusing point.Therefore, the spherical glass particle of producing by the second aspect method has circular basically cross section, and is mobile high, and can be as filler to mix in the resin at high proportion.In addition, the vitreous material that contains silicate as raw material contains 1.0 weight % or alkalimetal oxide still less, remove for example spheroidal particle as crushed products of basic metal and alkaline-earth metal ions of metal ion with acid treatment with elution from vitreous material, can significantly improve them and mix the electrical insulation capability of packaged material wherein with resin.
Described method is brought another advantage, and promptly the content of volatiles is low relatively in the spherical glass particle, because carry out nodularization after the inorganic materials that contains silicate by fusion is made vitreous material.
In the method for second aspect present invention, when the particle maintenance simultaneously of injection water on spheroidal particle afloat, can cool off spheroidal particle effectively for water.
In addition, when preparing particle by the glass fibre with substantially the same diameter, this method can reduce the ratio of thick spheroidal particle, because particle is easy to pulverize on cross-wise direction.
Third and fourth aspect of the present invention
Fusing point as the vitreous material that contains silicate of the raw material of the present invention's third and fourth aspect method is low relatively.Therefore, the spherical glass particle by these method manufacturings has circular basically cross section, and is mobile high and can be as filler to mix in the resin at high proportion.In addition, the vitreous material that contains silicate as raw material contains 1.0 weight % or alkalimetal oxide still less, handle with elution from vitreous material with acid and to remove for example spheroidal particle as crushed products of basic metal and alkaline-earth metal ions of metal ion, can significantly improve them and mix the electrical insulation capability of packaged material wherein with resin.
In addition, these methods are brought another advantage, and promptly the content of volatiles is low relatively in the spherical glass particle, because carry out nodularization after the inorganic materials that contains silicate by fusion is made vitreous material.
In addition, when producing particle by the glass fibre with substantially the same diameter, these methods can reduce the ratio of thick spheroidal particle, because they are easy to pulverize on cross-wise direction.
In addition, when with the jet of water cooling that contains organic silane compound and when keeping afloat simultaneously, can cool off the spheroidal particle that adds thermosetting simultaneously and handle, stop particle agglomeration to become composite particles simultaneously with silane compound.When at high temperature spraying with the water that contains organic silane compound, particle drying when reclaiming the refrigerative spheroidal particle need not to have additional drying step.
